Verdict
Conto Webank is among the cheapest traditional-bank accounts: zero fee on promo for those opening by 23/9/2026 and only €2/month at list price anyway, online transfers and SDD at €0, free Numia card, free Banco BPM ATMs and 2 monthly withdrawals at other banks included. Behind it is Banco BPM, Italy's third-largest banking group, with FITD €100,000 guarantee. The limits: digital-only operations, extra withdrawals at €2, and the 2% on balances is a conditional, time-limited promo. Figures from the fact sheet updated 25/06/2026.
Supervised bank account: custodial, full KYC, censorable and freezable by court order or AML obligation. The FITD deposit guarantee and the supervision of Banco BPM — strengths for protection — are exactly what distance it from the trustless model. No self-custody, no permissionless use: on the sovereignty lens it sits at the opposite pole from a self-custody wallet.
